We propose a generalized $\mu-\tau$ reflection symmetry to constrain the lepton flavor mixing parameters. We obtain a new correlation between the atmospheric mixing angle $\theta_{23}$ and the "Dirac" CP violation phase $\delta_{\rm CP}$.…
The T2K collaboration has recently reported their results, which gives the best-fit values of the atmospheric mixing angle $\sin^2 \theta_{23} = 0.53$ and the Dirac CP-violating phase $\delta = -1.89$ for normal neutrino mass ordering. We…

The neutrino $\mu$-$\tau$ reflection symmetry has been attracting a lot of attention as it predicts the interesting results $\theta^{}_{23} = \pi/4$ and $\delta = \pm \pi/2$. But it is reasonable to consider breakings of such a symmetry…
The $\mu$-$\tau$ reflection symmetry is compatible with current neutrino oscillation data and easily realized under family symmetries. We prove that this symmetry preserves $\theta_{23}=45^\circ$, $\delta=\pm90^\circ$,…

We study a $\mu - \tau$ reflection symmetry in neutrino sector realized at the GUT scale in the context of the seesaw model. In our scenario, the exact $\mu - \tau$ reflection symmetry realized in the basis where the charged lepton and…
There are six leptonic unitarity triangles (LUTs) defined by six orthogonality conditions of the three-family lepton flavor mixing matrix in the complex plane. In the framework of the standard model or the minimal supersymmetric standard…
We propose that leptonic CP violation arises from a breaking of the mu-tau exchange symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix which in turn is indicated by the near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and the near zero \theta_{13}. We find that…
